Installing CAP Ms
5 From the Hybrid Fiber Splice Box Kit, insert Fiber Patch Cord in one of the
cable glands indicated in the graphic to the right.
6 Strip the insulation of the composite cable for 100 cm and the fibers for 90 cm, and then shorten the
copper cables to 25 cm.
7 Insert the composite cable in the first cable gland and separate the
multi-fibers cable from the copper wires. It is necessary to remove the
nut to perform this action. The cable must be fed through the nut and it
must be retightened once finished.
8 Bend the spliced fibers using the corner guides and fix the splices to the
splice holder.
9 Bend the optical cables as shown in the graphic to the right.
